The first civilisation on Saefa Maackum humanity took contact with. This happened in 4010 AD. Obokyt then had technology comparable to that of the Roman Empire. This country was a constitutional monarchy with the right to vote limited to 10% of the population. There where both slavery and serfdom. Slavery was mostly limited to the relatively small towns. On the countryside the great majority of the population were serfs instead. It did not last long until this country stared to industrialize. In 4170 it has built an economy most closely comparable to that of Britain around 1900. Serfdom is abolished for purely practical reasons. To limit abuse of slave-owners’ power slavery is hedged in by rules. There is a discussion within the country if it should be entirely banned. Certainly the slaves’ economic contribution has for long steadily decreased. The last king was overthrown about 30 years ago. (He made too much resistance to several reforms considered necessary by many.) The entire form of government has been reformed to make it more democratic. For example, the right to vote has been extended to all literate adults. The population still mostly consists of maacku. The largest language is Obokytan followed by Vaenyjan and Mabbvromman. The two later languages are mutually understandable. In contrast, Obokytan is not mutually understandable to any of the two. However, it is still very clear that the languages are related.
